In the TV and movie industry, they use a little Vaseline on their front teeth to keep their lip from sticking when they talk.

Just keep on practicing. I got my retainers during the Winter Break of 2006 and I spoke so funny, no one could understand me. Just talk a lot or read out loud so you practice speaking.

I had everything that goes along with braces (had them for 6 years) and i usggest that when you wash the retainers blow them dry, and put them on when your mouth is free of saliva (not drooling with it). Then it gets easier to talk.

What I always tell my patients to do is read the paper of a book out loud for a few days to practice your speech. Your tongue knows that there is a foreign object in your mouth so it takes a little while to get use to it.

Don't worry, it takes a while to get used to them. I had braces and it took me a while to. Just remember to take them out before you eat. And put them on after you have eaten and brushed your teeth. If you feel any pain or discomfort, see your orthadontist.

It takes some time, but try to repeat the alphabet a couple times a day, and read some sentences or paragraphs out loud.
